I had literally just signed the paperwork on my dolls/tiny screws factory in the US. 😩
China and the United States have agreed to lower tariffs on goods from each other’s countries for 90 days, offering a temporary reprieve in a trade war that threatens to cause a global recession and deepen a widening rift between the world’s two largest economies.
U.S., China agree to lower most tariffs for 90 days amid trade talks
Both sides are hailing the temporary reprieve, which will cut U.S. duties on Chinese goods to 30 percent, but analysts say underlying issues remain.

Around 1700, English gained the verb 'cop,' meaning "to get hold of, catch, capture."
By the mid-1800s, 'cop' is recorded in print as being used to refer to what police do to criminals.
Police were then called ‘coppers’...one who ‘cops.’
'Copper' was then shortened to 'cop.'
